[9715] - 2019

Part of a series I've made back in 2019, called it "Fire and Water". It was fun (and messy). Despite using the maximum shutter speed here (1/8000 sec), apparently this wasn't enough to freeze the motion of the water droplets - they were ejected from a syringe. It is such situations that call for working with "flash duration" instead of the typical HSS (or high-speed) mode in the speedlites. Unfortunately, back then my knowledge was limited, and till this very day, I don't think I can work with such method.

Specs for those who care about them:
- Canon EOS 7D.
- Canon EOS 100mm f/2.8 Macro.
- F/5.6.
- 1/8000 sec.
- ISO 200.

[9556] - 2019;

One of the results of having fun with die and water back in 2019. All of this was done without triggers (i.e. special devices to trigger the camera or the flash); I tried those and failed miserably every time I try my luck with them, and I'm always back to manual mode: eye-hand synchronization. Things would be even harder if two people would be working on such experiments because syncing is harder (well, sorta).
By the way, each of these images have a title but I didn't save the title in the file name unfortunately, but only when I uploaded them to other platforms back in 2019 when I made them and honestly I'm too lazy to change file names or check back to see what name I gave each! 🤷🏻‍♂️ So, I'm just putting the serial number of the file name.
For those who care about the specs: 50mm, f/6.3, 1/8000 sec, ISO 200.

Number of Americans with food borne illness rose by 25% in 2024, while hospitalizations and deaths more than doubled. This, even before RFKJr and Trump gutted the public health infrastructure, which will likely make the problem much worse.

From the article: "The total number of positions eliminated was not clear Sunday, but the firings appeared to focus on employees in the agency’s centers for food, medical devices and tobacco products — which includes oversight of electronic cigarettes. It was not clear whether FDA employees who review drugs were exempted."

用心作賭注《七》; Almost forgot to post today. This is the 7th one in the series and the last. I'm already working on another series but still having problems finding the time and achieving the effect I have in mind. For me, I think this last one is the best. For this one and the two before it, I've started to lower down the camera level gradually and this one here is the lowest point (without lowering the legs of the tripod of course); I think the camera was something between 5 to 10cms above the desk surface and pointing downward.
Anyway, till I finish that other project, I will keep posting from the archive again!

Another high speed shot, like the one I posted yesterday, using flash duration, triggered by a motion sensor. This one though is more disturbed. I like the movement of the screws here, but unlike yesterday's, the shape of the heart is fuzzy and hardly discerned. I think if you look from far enough, you would notice the overall heart shape.
